You came to relax on the lake Maggiore and You have 3 days?! It's a lot or a little?!
Everyone will answer this question...
Personally, I like to leave little "hungry" to have a reason to come back! :-)
It is not always possible to implement all planned and scheduled! Interfering various circumstances as lack of time and energy, a banal weather, etc...
In this trip we saw almost everything, except for the trip to the Alpine panoramic train. He goes three times a week and at first the weather interfered, and then we didn't have the day... Decided to drive, when we return to Italy or will be in Switzerland...
In this film You will take numerous boat rides on the lake, and walk through the town of Stresa (where I lived for the 3 days) and Palanza, visit the famous 3 Islands: Madre, Bella and Pescatori, enjoy the colors, the smells and the Alpine parks and Villa Taranto will see many old Temples and then visit St. Catherine monastery, and take a fascinating journey into located close to the lake: the mountain village of Macugnaga and the small lake of Orta...
By the way, all these sites I made a separate short film, which You can find on my Playlist Italy :-)
PS If, all of a sudden, my film will appeal or be useful - feel free to write a few lines! :-)
P. P. S. happy to answer Your questions.
